The incident occurred shortly before 6 p.m. when McIntyre entered the Rayburn House Office Building, which was open to the public at the time. Officials stated that he passed through security screening before entering.
Mace, a Republican representative from South Carolina, has been in the spotlight for her controversial proposal to ban transgender individuals from using restrooms that align with their gender identity, raising significant tensions surrounding the ongoing debate on transgender rights.
In her statement on X, she expressed that the confrontation was related to her stance on transgender rights. 'I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man,' Mace reported, detailing the incident.
In November, Mace introduced legislation aimed at prohibiting transgender women from using women’s restrooms at the U.S. Capitol, a decision that coincided with the historic swearing-in of the first transgender member of Congress.
